about
Based on the Collect (focused prayer) for the Fifth Sunday in Lent from the Book of Common Prayer:
Almighty God, we pray you graciously to behold this your family, for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be betrayed, and given into the hands of sinners, and to suffer death upon the cross; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
lyrics
VERSE 1
Day of evil's triumph over virtue!
On this day is the Good is called the vile.
Treated as a wolf, this Gentle Shepherd;
Foulest envy does the Good defile.
VERSE 2
Day of shadows, blood and tears and sorrows!
On this day is beauty torn asunder.
Glory marred with whips and thorns and nails;
Foulest darkness covers Beauty’s wonder.
VERSE 3
Day of falsity, lies and pretension!
On this day is Truth’s bent body killed.
When High Priest and Judge both fail the True One;
Foulest cup of Satan’s lies is swilled.
CHORUS 1
Purest Jesus, you held us to the end.
Truest Jesus, you taught us to the end.
Strongest Jesus, you bore us to the end.
CHORUS 2
Dearest Jesus, you loved us to the end.
Dearest Jesus, you loved us to the end.
Dearest Jesus, you loved us to the end.
